Restrofi vs Poster POS The honest comparison

Poster POS is a browser-based cloud POS popular in Europe and Asia. For Indian restaurants, native GST invoicing requires add-ons and the platform lacks QR table ordering. Restrofi is built specifically for India — GST, QR ordering, KDS, and RestroAI out of the box.
